FAQs
Are these grips suitable for road biking?
These are specifically engineered for mountain biking (All Mountain, Enduro, DH). They are not intended for standard road bike drop bars.
What is the diameter of these grips?
The Deity Knuckleduster grips feature a 32mm outer diameter.
Can I use these with carbon handlebars?
Yes, but always follow your handlebar manufacturer's torque specifications for lock-on grips to avoid damaging the carbon surface.
Do I need special tools to install them?
You only need a standard hex key (Allen wrench) to tighten the clamp bolt.
Why is the tapered sleeve design important?
The tapered sleeve acts as a wedge that ensures the grip stays perfectly still on the handlebar, eliminating the 'play' or twisting sensation found in cheaper lock-on grips.
Troubleshooting
Grip feels loose or rotates on the handlebar
Remove the grip and repeat the installation process, ensuring you firmly tap the end of the grip to seat the tapered sleeve before tightening the clamp.
Clamp bolt is stripping
Ensure you are using the correct size Allen key and do not exceed recommended torque specs. If damaged, replace with a standard M4-sized bolt.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent vibration damping for rough terrain
- Secure, play-free fit via the tapered sleeve design
- Highly durable rubber compound
- Ergonomic palm support reduces hand strain
- Sleek aesthetics with laser-etched hardware
Cons
- Installation requires precise seating of the tapered sleeve
- Single-clamp design necessitates careful bolt tension
- May feel bulky to riders who prefer minimalist grips
Setup, Compatibility & Care
These grips are designed to fit standard 22.2mm handlebars, which is the industry standard for virtually all modern mountain bikes.
Installation Steps:
- Slide the grip onto the handlebar until it reaches the desired position.
- Tap the end of the grip three times firmly with the palm of your hand. This is critical for seating the tapered inner sleeve fully against the bar surface.
- Position the clamp and tighten the bolt to the manufacturer's specified torque rating. Do not overtighten the aluminum hardware.
Care:
Clean the grips periodically with water and a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and oils. Avoid harsh chemical degreasers, which may degrade the TRC rubber compound over time.
